    As for fit, the cat (which has grown beautifully) had no doubt about fitting on the lightbox.

      It's the law of the cat's universe: If she fits, she sits. So she sat. 😁

    A very good cami, I hope it helps this summer! Your kittens probably like the wool mat so much because of the lanolin, which smells like a mother cat producing milk. There's a picture, somewhere on the internet, of a cat up to it's elbows in wool on a live sheep in full kitten mode.

    • @MaireColclough
      @MaireColclough Před 3 měsíci +4

      I figured it was probably the lanolin.
      I don't think it's going to get a lot of use until I can build it into the ironing section of my eventual cutting table. And then it may get a cotton topper to keep kittens from scratching and chewing it.
      Either that or I'll use it when the kittens are locked out of the basement 😁

    I love camisoles, I wear in a temperate climate that has mood swings, foggy mornings burn off to warmer days and back to cooler evenings, so layers are the way to go and camisoles fit into that perfectly.

    That fabric reminds me of those old, bell-sleeved overdresses, that were really in fashion in the 70s and the 90s. Like making an overdress, and being a flowy figure in dark alleyways :3

  • @michellecornum5856
    @michellecornum5856 Před 3 měsíci +3

    That camisole is very nice.
    I find it vexing that the larger the pattern size, the more distorted it becomes. Especially around the arms and shoulders. We won't even go into the immediate square it becomes for the body. Human shoulders do not grow at the same rate as what is hanging off of them. If I make something that slides over the apron, I continue to slide right through the neck hole.
    Sorry, this could become a massive rant.
    Pink is definitely your color.

    • @MaireColclough
      @MaireColclough Před 3 měsíci +3

      Mum was right about a few things (like pink, lol)!
      As I grow more proficient at sewing, I'm finding that the pattern is just the starting point. It's up to me to customize from there. There's a whole video in what I could say about it, I think 😁

    • @woochles
      @woochles Před 3 měsíci +3

      I hate how pattern grading seems to think the circumference of my neck grows at the same rate as the circumference of my waist as I gain weight. Why the huge neck holes? Also, as you said, shoulders don't actually get wider so bra straps need to stay more centered or they fall down.

    I love that color on you. But I see what you mean by how sheer it is. I couldn't get over the kitties being in your space. I can totally relate to the light box. I had mine out the other day lining up pattern pices and had a cat jump up to park her furry butt on it. 😂😂 I love Ellie and Mac patterns. Lindsey is awesome. She tries very hard to be size inculsive. She made a couple of dresses for my duaghter before she started making patterns. Back when she was just doing little girl clothing. I actually have this cami pattern and printed it out with the intention to make it dor my duaghter to go with the jammy pants I made her for Christmas two years ago. In the end it turned out i had over worked myself sewing 5 pairs and getting everything else ready for Christmas. If I don't have to make a bunch of stuff and do a bunch of last minute cleaning, I may try again. Or maybe i will raid the stash and make one gor myself.😉

The last two we slapped together in a week.
